Best Turkish Mixed Grill Restaurants in Muscat

Ubiquitous and beloved as they are in this region, not all mixed grills are created equal. Sure they have common elements — the cubes of tender, charred chicken and lamb; flavourful hand-formed skewers of minced meat and chicken kebabs, a few chops and a scattering of French fries, served alongside flatbread, hummus, and chopped salad — but every shop has its own “star” of the platter.
